Trunk Tailors offers handmade suits using the finest fabrics from around the world. We travel extensively to learn, embrace and promote the culture of fine tailoring. This enables us to provide sound advice to our clients that will best serve their needs in their environment. All our suits are completely hand made from scratch in a small family owned workshop.
Every suit starts as a blank canvas, the patterns are hand drawn and is designed individually for every customer’s unique body. Every single buttonhole is stitched by hand and complemented by fully pick stitched seams. There are no machines in our workshop apart from the straight sewing machine, everything else is done by hand, as it should be.
Since inception, we have worked closely with our small team of tailors and cutters to bring comfort and relevance back into suiting.
SUITS
Whether for work or leisure, our master tailor oversees every single suit before it arrives in Melbourne/Sydney for future fittings, this ensures that your individual body shape is taken into account before any suit is drawn or cut. Every single suit has its own pattern that we save and adjust, no two suits are ever the same.
We consider your environment, climate, wardrobe rotation and daily habits before any recommendations are made.
Our hand made suits start from AUD 1,650.
Bespoke fitting is included for an additional AUD 350, this covers shipping to and from our workshop as well as the additional hours required to prepare the baste fitting.
JACKETS
We love casual and odd jackets, as it is the gateway to the real realm of tailoring commissions. For summer, we love to work with Irish linen and Italian cotton – seersucker, solaro, denim etc. For winter, we recommend Fox Brothers, classic light flannel from Vitale Barberis Canonico and Loro Piana wool cashmere.
All our casual jackets are unstructured. No matter the formality, every jacket is still cut from a single piece of cloth and every attachment is done by hand. They are soft, light, flexible and most importantly, enjoyable to wear.
Our hand made jackets start from AUD 1,150.
TROUSERS
High waisted, single or double pleats and buttoned cuffs are some of our favourite options for casual pants. We find pleats creates comfort, relaxes the thigh and adds a somewhat casual element to the pants. All our pants are slightly tapered, but not too tight and we pride ourselves in producing comfortable pants.
We can accommodate for any requests, varying from pockets, width of leg opening, angle of pockets, the placement of side adjusters and single or double buttons for extenders.
Our hand made trousers start from AUD 550.
OVERCOAT
Our overcoats are handmade and finish to the exact same standard as our suits and jackets.
We can accommodate a wide range of designs, from single breasted, double breasted or a raglan sleeve overcoat. Our house style is a double breasted overcoat with a functional martingale back, made from Loro Piana’s undyed wool or camel hair.
Our hand made overcoats start from AUD 1650.
SHIRTS
With the exception of the most exclusive Carlo Riva, all our shirts are produced from Thomas Mason or Albini and they are soft. Although we generally like light to no fusing for our collars, we are able to produce them according to your needs. As with our suits, our shirts are made from scratch which means any collar or cuff configurations are possible.
We have 2 very specific house styles, our button down and spread collar. Both have been tested over and over again since inception and contains a very special height and angle formulae.
Our Thomas Mason shirts start from AUD 260.
